**CHAPTER 17**

Ming Yi wakes up after sleeping for just 3 hours. The events that happen to her last night is still not fully inside her. As she get ready to work again, she notice that everybody is looking at her again as they whisper at each other.

"Now what is the problem here again? Am I always the center of attraction?"

She then sees the Servant Head, walking towards her.

"Ming Yi there's something I will say to you, follow me." he said to her.

She follows the Servant Head to his office. He let her sit on his chair as he stands up looking outside his window.

"From now on Ming Yi you will not work here as a servant inside the palace."

"EEEHHH? What do you mean? Did I do something wrong in my work Servant Head that's why you're firing me?"She asks shockingly.

"No, your work as a servant is finest. But now you've been promoted to a much higher position"

"Promoted?"

"From now on, you will be the 5th consort of Lord Cao Pi."

"WWHHAAT? Who in the world thought of this?" she stands as she grips at her clothes because of shock.

"It's Lord Cao Pi himself. You are very lucky to be chosen as a consort of Lord Cao Pi, there's many noble woman who wanted to be the consort of Lord Cao Pi and yet he choose you even though you're just a commoner" he smiles at her.

"But I don't want to be a consort! I want to be a servant!" she reason out at him.

"You're weird, other girls' jumps at joy when they heard news like this and yet you want to stay as a servant?"

"Because I never dream to be a consort of anyone else! No I will not accept this!"

"You can't. It's already been decided by Lord Cao Pi so there is no turning back. Don't worry it will be fine, Lady Ming Yi."he said as he bows at her.

"NO NO NO! It is not in my plan to be a consort! All I want is to pretend to be a servant and that's all! I can never be a consort, I am a princess! Where in the world did you see that a princess became a consort? I really can't!" she thought to herself.

Ming Yi then immediately runs as she goes to the quarters of Cao Pi. When she arrives he is not there and that he is out the gardens together with Lady Zhen Ji when she asks one of his servants. She immediately goes to look for him, praying that he will change his mind.

Cao Pi is now receiving a lecture by his wife Zhen Ji after she learns what he just did.

"Are you out of you mind? A commoner as a consort? What are you thinking Cao Pi?" she asks him

"It's none of your business." he said to her coldly.

"None of my business? I am your wife Cao Pi! Besides you told me that she's only a plaything to you, so why are you making her one of you consort?"

"It doesn't mean that I have feelings for her because I made her one of my consorts. She will still be a plaything to me." he lied to her.

"Cao Pi you -"

"Lord Cao Pi!" Shouts Ming Yi as she sees Cao Pi together with Zhen Ji.

"What is it this time commoner? Are you so happy that you will become a consort?"Zhen Ji said to her.

Ming Yi pants as she goes beside Cao Pi and Zhen Ji, she then asks "Why did you make me one of your consorts Lord Cao Pi?"

"Because I want to."

"But I don't want to be a consort! I just want to be a servant!"

"See Cao Pi, even her doesn't want to be your consort! Don't worry, I will introduce you to one of my friends who is much more worthy than her!" Zhen Ji said to him.

"I will not going to repeat this on both of you. My decision is final; I will make Ming Yi one of my consorts."

Cao then left the two shock women alone.

"It's all your fault! I told you not to be near with Cao Pi anymore! You seduce him!" Zhen Ji blames her.

"But Lady Zhen Ji, I am not seducing him! The truth is I am now avoiding meeting him!"

"Oh really? But then why did he choose you to be his consort?"

"I don't know Lady Zhen Ji! I swear!"

Zhen Ji just glares at her before she leaves the girl who is now panicking what to do. Ming Yi just wish that she has just a bad dream and that she is going to wake up in just few more minutes, but she isn't. She then notices a woman comes beside her and said,

"Lady Ming Yi, you need to change your clothes now. Lord Cao Pi will meet you tonight."she said as she bows at her.

"No way..."
